FICTION WORKSHOP

WITH OLIVE SENIOR

FEE:

£10/5 concs

The workshop, MOVING THE STORY FORWARD – will look at building a greater awareness of fictional techniques: plot and the importance of conflict, point of view, characterization, scene and settings, etc. Brief exercises will be given as time allows. Through discussion and exercises, participants will be encouraged to see writing as a process, which requires the constant feeding of the creative imagination, as well as the acquisition of tools and techniques.
